Enterprise — Enterprise blockchain security is the assurance work for permissioned and consortium ledgers inside a large organisation — membership and identity services, endorsement and consensus policy, chaincode or contract logic, and the integrations connecting the ledger to enterprise systems — where the realistic adversary is a participant, a partner or a compromised internal account rather than an anonymous attacker.
Enterprise deployments fail differently from public ones. There is rarely a public bounty on the treasury; there is an endorsement policy that a small number of aligned organisations can satisfy alone, an administrator with authority nobody has enumerated, an integration to an ERP or core system that trusts ledger events implicitly, and a consortium governance model where nobody is quite accountable for security decisions.
The most consequential findings in these engagements are usually structural rather than syntactic. An endorsement policy that appears to require broad agreement but is satisfiable by two entities with the same commercial interest. A membership service provider whose certificate issuance is controlled by a single participant. A channel configuration granting read access far beyond what the data-sharing agreement contemplated. A chaincode function that trusts a client-supplied identity attribute. None of these appear in a vulnerability scan.
We also examine the seam between the ledger and the enterprise, which is where blockchain risk turns into business risk. Event listeners that trigger financial postings, connectors with service accounts holding broad permissions, message paths with no replay protection, and reconciliation processes that assume the ledger and the system of record can never diverge. Deliverables are written for enterprise governance: rated findings, control mapping, and evidence that internal audit can test.
We fix a commit hash, agree the in-scope contracts and read your architecture docs, then build a threat model: who the actors are, what the trust boundaries are, and which invariants must never break. Nothing is reviewed against assumptions we have not written down.
Line-by-line review by at least two auditors working independently, focused on authorisation, accounting, upgrade paths, external integrations and the gap between what the code does and what the documentation claims it does. Most critical findings come from this phase, not from tooling.
Static analysers appropriate to the language, plus property-based fuzzing and invariant testing to push the system into states no unit test covers. Tooling is used to widen coverage, never to replace the manual pass.
Candidate findings are proven on a forked network with a working proof of concept. We report what an attacker can actually do and what it costs them, not a theoretical severity label.
Every finding gets a severity rating, reproduction steps, the affected code, the impact in concrete terms and a specific remediation. You get a draft for discussion before anything is finalised.
We re-test every remediation against the original proof of concept and check that the fix has not opened a new path. The final report is yours to publish.
Yes, with a different threat model. The adversary is a participant, a partner, a supplier or a compromised internal account — and the highest-impact findings tend to be policy and identity structure rather than code.
Hyperledger Fabric and its ecosystem, Corda, Quorum and other permissioned EVM deployments, and enterprise appchains. Send us the architecture and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right firm.
Yes, and it works better when we do. We write findings so internal audit can test them independently and map them to the control framework the organisation already uses.
Always, and it is often the highest-value part of the engagement. A policy satisfiable by one organisation, or by several with aligned interests, undermines the trust model the entire network was built to provide.
It is the best time. Policy structure, identity architecture and integration patterns are cheap to change in a pilot and extremely expensive once several organisations depend on them.
A repository or contract address, a commit hash to freeze the scope, whatever architecture or spec documentation exists, and a point of contact who can answer design questions. If documentation is thin we will write our understanding of the system back to you and ask you to confirm it — that step alone catches design-level bugs.
A single token contract is 24–48 hours. A typical dApp or mid-sized protocol runs one to two weeks. Large DeFi systems, L2s, bridges and ZK circuits are scoped per project after we have seen the code. We will give you a fixed timeline with the quote, not an estimate that moves.
